Why work at KIPP?

What to Expect

Unparalleled Professional Development

Continuous learning is essential to KIPP’s success and we believe there is always room to learn, grow, and improve at each stage of your career. That’s why we prioritize and invest in professional development for all of our staff, from on-going coaching and school-wide trainings, to national conferences and retreats.

Teammates United by One Goal

We don’t just help get our students to college; we support them all the way through graduation day and beyond. And with 224 schools and 20+ years in education, we learn from our peers and share what we know to reach even more students and expand the impact of our work.

Work that Makes a Difference

No matter your role, you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with families, community members, and KIPP students and alumni who are deeply committed to their communities. Many KIPP teachers also feel the impact of their work when teaching the siblings of former students or when students return to teach alongside them.

When families send two, three, four students to our school, that's one of the greatest compliments an educator can ever get. We've earned their trust.

We get to show our students that they are powerful beyond measure, that they are powerful beyond their own belief.

I am in this work for kids, and kids first and foremost. And what we’re trying to do for them doesn’t work unless we have their buy-in, their trust.
